A SERIES  OF  REPRODUCTIONS 
FROM  ORIGINAL  LIFE  NEGATIVES. 


“The  one  absolutely  unselfish  friend  that 
man  can  have  in  this  selfish  world,  the  one  that 
never  deserts  him,  the  one  that  never  proves 
ungrateful  or  treacherous — is  his  dog” 


WILLIAM  O.  LOCKE,  PUBLISHING  PHOTOGRAPHER, 

NORWOOD,  CINCINNATI,  OHIO. 


..preface... 

HO  does  not  love  a dog  ? Without  doubt,  he  is  the  most 
petted  and  most  admired  creature  in  the  animal  kingdom. 
The  stories  written  of  him,  of  his  wonderful  human  in- 
stincts, of  his  attachment  for  his  master,  of  his  qualities 
as  a life-saver  and  care-taker,  would  fill  volumes. 
Anecdotes  illustrating  his  intelligence  and  affection  are 
numerous  and  well  authenticated.  He  is  not  only  the  pet  and  pride  of  the 
children,  but  is  as  well  the  object  of  study,  attention  and  admiration  by  men 
and  women  in  all  walks  of  life.  Pictures  have  been  taken  of  him  and  photo- 
graphs of  the  pet  of  the  family  are  as  much  talked  about  and  adored  as  the 
infant  prodigy  of  the  household. 

The  W.  O.  Locke  Dog  Studies  were  begun  and  have  been  developed  to 
their  present  high  standard  as  a labor  of  love.  To  catch  the  sympathetic  expres- 
sion and  pleasing  attitude  with  the  camera,  and  make  perfect  reproduction  of 
same  has  been  the  aim  of  the  photographer. 

No  effort  has  been  made  to  furnish  examples  of  the  many  varieties  of 
dogs  with  their  widely  different  characteristics.  The  purpose,  which  has  been 
closely  followed  from  the  outset,  was  to  secure  a number  of  character  studies, 
and  to  present  these  in  a series  of  such  artistic  attitudes  and  unusual  expres- 
sions as  would  be  apt  to  insure  for  them  a hearty  welcome  wherever  the  dog 
has  found  a friend.  It  is  pleasant  to  record  that  the  reception  given  these  dog 
studies  has  been  even  more  cordial  than  could  have  been  anticipated  or  ex- 
pected by  their  originators. 

The  half-tone  illustrations  in  this  catalogue  give  only  a faint  idea  of 
the  quality  and  charm  of  the  copies  from  the  original  negatives  on  carbon- 
type  paper.  They  must  be  seen  to  be  appreciated,  and  are  certain  to  be  highly 
prized  by  anyone  who  has  ever  owned,  cared  for,  or  admired  a dog.
